  I’ve always been leery of public Wi-Fi because of the timeless adage:

  “nothing is free. If something is free, then you are the product.”

  It costs them money to provide public Wi-Fi, what are they getting out of it if they’re not mining data from the users?

    It’s not a very good adage. Charities exist, for example. And free drink refills.

    When a business offers free wifi, it’s giving you an incentive to stay longer and come back more often.
